lemmywinks Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Horrible listing maybe, but that bass looks sweet and for £165 delivered someone got an absolute bargain there Wish i'd seen it, would probably have bid on it and Mrs. Lemmywinks would have to wait another few months for a new sofa! Quote

robocorpse Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 He could have cleaned it before posting 100 photos of it on the net That fingerboard is filthy. Nice bass for 165 though, someone got a bargain. Quote

I've seen this listed a few times, but not been tempted! Not sure what a SB100 is but given it also seems to have a CE marking I guess this is one of the more recent efforts from China? Not surprised that the last bidder bailed out. £165 should get you a real Japanese SGC Nanyo in a more acceptable colour. Quote
